■已发现心理治疗的多模式方法对于管理技术的过度使用是有效的。瑜伽,一种整体的身心疗法,已被观察到是管理物质使用障碍的有用佐剂。瑜伽也被称为减轻压力和提高整体福祉。这项研究的目的是研究瑜伽作为心理治疗的辅助治疗在减少过度使用技术导致的功能障碍和严重程度方面是否比单独的心理治疗更好。
■遵循双臂随机对照前瞻性研究设计,评估者盲法和分配隐藏。30名同意的年轻人(22名男性),在网络成瘾测试中得分超过36分,被随机分配到:A组=心理治疗+瑜伽或B组=单独的心理治疗。两组在第1个月接受了8次心理治疗。此外,A组接受了额外的10次特定瑜伽课程(由训练有素的专业人员)。之后,我们组织了每月的强化课程(有监督的瑜伽课程,直接与瑜伽治疗师一对一接触),并在12周时进行了后期评估.每个受试者都使用网络成瘾测试简表进行评估,互联网游戏障碍量表-简短形式,智能手机成瘾量表-简短版本,基线和12周后的Kessler心理困扰量表。
■与B组相比,A组的互联网使用显着减少(F=5.61,P=0.02,ηp2=0.17),智能手机使用情况(F=4.76,P=0.03,ηρ2=0.15),心理困扰(F=7.71,P=0.01,ηp2=0.22),和工作日使用(Z=-2.0,P=0.05,ηp2=0.15)以及增强的治疗依从性和保留率。
■瑜伽作为辅助治疗与多模式心理干预过度使用技术被发现是有效的。这对心理健康专业人员具有临床意义。
UNASSIGNED: Multimodal approach of psychotherapy has been found to be effective for managing the excessive use of technology. Yoga, a holistic mind-body therapy, has been observed to be a useful adjuvant in managing substance use disorders. Yoga is also known to reduce stress and enhance overall well-being. The aim of this
study was to examine whether yoga as an adjuvant treatment to psychotherapy is better than psychotherapy alone in reducing dysfunction and severity due to excessive technology use.
UNASSIGNED: A two-arm randomized controlled prospective
study design was followed with assessor blinding and allocation concealment. Thirty consenting young adults (22 males), scoring above 36 on the Internet
Addiction Test, were randomly allocated to either: Group A = psychotherapy + yoga or Group B = psychotherapy alone. Both groups received 8 sessions of psychotherapy in the 1st month. In addition, Group A received additional 10 sessions a specific yoga program (by trained professionals). After that, monthly booster sessions (supervised yoga sessions performed with direct one-on-one contact with the yoga therapist) were organized and post-assessment was conducted at 12 weeks. Each subject was assessed using the Internet
Addiction Test-Short Form, Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form, Smartphone
Addiction Scale-Short Version, and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale at baseline and after 12 weeks.
UNASSIGNED: As compared to Group B, Group A had significantly reduced Internet use (F = 5.61, P = 0.02, ηp 2 = 0.17), smartphone use (F = 4.76, P = 0.03, ηp 2 = 0.15), psychological distress (F = 7.71, P = 0.01, ηp 2 = 0.22), and weekday use (Z = -2.0, P = 0.05, ηp 2 = 0.15) along with enhanced treatment adherence and retention.
UNASSIGNED: Yoga as an adjuvant therapy with multimodal psychological intervention for excessive use of technology was found to be effective. This carries clinical implications for mental health professionals.
